- Summary
- "It is important that we recognize the Indian Constitution not only as a legal or moral entity but also as a living organism, sustaining and consolidating our constitutional democracy. [This book] presents an understanding of the Constitution in the context of the rapid changes arising out of indigenous and exogenous influences. It traces the evolution of the constitutional provisions, their core nature and manifestation with reference to the situational socio-economic circumstances in a globalizing world...Key features: an analytical account of the processes leading to the making of the Constitution; a...discussion of the core constitutional provisions; and reinterpretation of the constitutional provisions in the light of multiple judicial pronouncements."--
